Preceded by Origin ST's releases in ambient, piano and electronica styles, Dark Nights chooses to explore the intimate, quavering sounds of the Novation Summit synthesiser, beneath a Roland RP800 Rhodes electronic piano. The fragile industrial landscape running through the album punctuated with moments of human optimism.

Origin ST - Cassia

Amsterdam-based Origin ST presents 'Dark Nights are Setting In’, a two-way inspection of our human impact on the natural world, and our current position in the ongoing climate crisis.
 
You can find the first Ambientologist cassette release here: https://bit.ly/3wOh1Ew

Written primarily for Roland RP800 Rhodes electronic piano, Novation Summit synthesiser and Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2, and mostly recorded as live, one-take performances, Dark Nights are Setting In presents fragile industrial backdrops punctuated with sympathetic human tones.

Long, deep thought on the perils and promise of the present decade has manifested in these 10 pieces, flowing between anxiety and encouragement, guilt and resolve.

Lyrics:

Love Dust

Dumb lust it's love dust, hooray!
Sprinkle the sadness away
I'll give you anything to stay
Dying to give this heart away

Dumb luck 'cause love's come my way  
What she commands I obey 
I don't care please understand
You can have the world I'll take the man

Dumb lust it's dumb lust, you'll see 
It will not end gracefully 
(Even in fantasy it’s a calamity)
Love's a betrayal of the past
(Cannot refuse when your love is in bloom)
Every kiss could be your last

Dumb lust it's love dust, hooray!
Sprinkle the sadness away
(Call me a fool as I break every rule)
I'll give you anything to stay
(It’s worth it anyway)
Dying to give this heart away

Lyrics:

Honey Venom Wings 

I lay me down on the body machine 
Hear the voices ascend around me 
Higher and higher and higher and higher 

You're shape-shifting like a swarm of bees 
Honey and venom your wings on a breeze go 
Higher and higher and higher and higher 

Oh take precautions when you visit me 
This fever follows one trajectory 
Higher and higher and higher and higher 

I close my eyes and it always returns 
A face among interference patterns 
Higher and higher and higher and higher 

Honey venom wings, are you high? I hear you hum 
I'm craving your sting, such a warm little buzz 
Honey venom wings, when are you gonna give me some? 

Natal sensations but it's all reversed 
I see distant mountains the curve of the earth 
Higher and higher and higher and higher 

Back in the day it was all mystery 
Now I see clearly - it's too late to see 
Higher and higher and higher and higher 

Honey venom wings, are you high? I hear you hum 
I'm craving your sting, such a warm little buzz 
Honey venom wings, when are you gonna give me some?
